Grant Overview 

In addition to its own funding programs, Council often receives notification of other grant opportunities, some of which may be relevant to the community and individuals. To stay abreast of these opportunities, sign up to our grants mailing list and receive ad-hoc updates detailing external funding opportunities.

Grant-ready Checklist

For every grant application you will need a project plan and also supporting documents. The checklist below will give you a comprehensive overview of questions to think about and supporting documents to put together. Most of the supporting documentation will be needed regardless of the grant you are applying for. Therefore taking the time to get the paperwork together once will make you grant-ready for future applications.
